Labor Board claim vs. hiring an employment lawyer
Filing a wage claim with the Labor Commissioner is free and you don’t need a lawyer. For some workers it’s the right path. But it has limits worth knowing before you file:
Labor Commissioner wage claim
- Handles individual wage claims (unpaid wages, overtime, break premiums, some penalties)
- Can involve long waits for conferences and hearings, which depend on caseload
- Does not bring class actions on behalf of a group of co-workers
- Generally not the forum for wrongful termination, harassment, or discrimination lawsuits seeking damages such as emotional distress
- Hearing awards can be appealed by the employer to superior court
Working with an employment lawyer
- Can evaluate every claim you may have, not only unpaid wages
- Can pursue claims in court, including class actions and Private Attorneys General Act (PAGA) claims where appropriate
- Can bring wrongful termination, retaliation, harassment, and discrimination claims
- Crosner Legal handles employment cases on a contingency fee basis — no upfront fees or hourly rates
Every case is different. Deadlines (statutes of limitations) apply, so don’t wait to get advice.
